-Pressure cookers are widely available at thrift shops for very little money.  If you go this way, a unit with a weight[s] to regulate pressure is less complicated than dial-type regulators.  The latter require regular calibration.  Be sure your weight-regulated cooker comes with the weight, as they can cost $10 or more.  Most used pressure cookers are due for [[https://amzn.to/2MSuu4V|a gasket set]], also about $10.  Google the model number stamped into the bottom of the cooker to find the correct gasket. +Pressure cookers are widely available at thrift shops for very little money.  The most common type with a weight((or weights)) ("rocker") to regulate pressure((and therefore temperature)) is less complicated and more sturdy than the rarer types with dials or gauges.  Be sure the thrift store weight-regulated cooker **comes with the weight**, as they can cost $10 or more.  Most used pressure cookers are due for [[https://amzn.to/2MSuu4V|a gasket set]], also about $10.  Google the model number stamped into the bottom of the cooker to find the correct gasket.

 +Dial-guage pressure cookers are not recommended because: 
 +  * require regular calibration at an extension service or similar, 
 +  * require more attention to cooking temp,((there is no temp-limiting pressure escape as with weighted cookers)), and; 
 +  * the dials are less sturdy than weights in our "rolling earthquakes".

 +Countertop cookers run on 110v, whether from [[electrical:shore_power|shore power]] or large [[electrical:inverter|inverter]].  Cooking with battery power may require a bank that can handle a lot of current, like [[electrical:12v:deep_cycle_battery#lithium_chemistries|lithium]] or [[electrical:12v:deep_cycle_battery#agm|AGM]].
